Salerno's Red Hots

This place should be talked about more often than it is. The hot dogs are Vienna beef, and are so good!! The fries are natural fresh cut, so long as the bag doesn't stay closed, the fries stay crispy if you're carrying out, and that when these fries really shine. Stick with a small fry, the small is easily shared by two, maybe 3 people. The cheese for the fries is that same cheese sauce used by Portillos. They also have chicken tenders and beef, but the hot dogs are so good, every time I say I'm going to change it up, I end up with hot dogs again! Seating on site is limited, especially during colder months when outside seating isn't available. Beverages included bottled water and canned soda. They also feature a rewards card for frequent buyers.

Hidden Treasure! Heard about this place and the reviews were good. Gave it a try a few weeks ago and I have gone back four times already! I live on the far North side of Plainfield, so it is a little far of a drive. It is worth the drive! It’s a small place with a lot of character. I like how the menu is simple, they stick to the good stuff. I have tried the hot dog, chili dog, beef and maxwell street polish, fries and pizza puff. It is all amazing! Great quality, perfectly prepared. Fast service. In my opinion this food blows away the more famous competition! All the food is made when you order. It is a take out place. No tables inside. I think there might be a counter top near the window, but definitely not a sit down restaurant. Once you place you order, you go back to your car and someone brings out your order. I have visited a total of 5 times so far and the order has never been wrong. They pack it vey well and even with the longer drive home, the food is fresh and hot! Highly recommend!
